Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp does not believe they sent out a statement by smashing Rangers in the Champions League group stages.

Despite injury woes and the demoralizing 3-2 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, the Reds were at their devastating best on Wednesday.

Thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, and Harvey Elliott, the Reds beat Rangers 7-1 in Glasgow.

Asked about making a statement, Klopp admitted their weekend clash against Manchester City will be a lot tougher.

He told reporters: “It's not a bad thing winning 7-1 here. I think from the outside point of view obviously everyone expected us to win here, but we take it a game at a time.

“We know that we are in a tough period, and we take it game by game - that's how we approached tonight.

“That's how we will approach the big one on Sunday [vs Manchester City].

“They're on fantastic form, it's always difficult games against each other for both sides. We'll prepare well, recover and be ready for Sunday."
